UCLA Gymnastics vlog – episode 2

Episode 2 takes us through weeks 3 (BYU & Utah State) and 4 (Stanford) of the 2020 season. The Bruins pull together to help teammates overcoming personal tragedy and flight anxiety, which gets enhanced in the wake of Kobe Bryant’s passing.

Should NCAA Men switch to the 10.0 system.

Oklahoma Head Coach Mark Williams doesn’t think so.

Personally I don’t think it would work to improve chances the American Collegiate program survives.

Right now some of the Men’s teams are doing a poor job of social media, LIVE competition video and LIVE scoring. At almost zero budget, that would be the best first step.

It might be worth keeping FIG scoring while doing more to publicize high E-score routines. Post the E-score alongside final score, for example.

Grace Glenn – Beam

Having a super strong and consistent leadoff routine for Beam is smart strategy.

It reminds me of Anna Li competing leadoff when she was at UCLA.

Florida achieved a critical, convincing win against top conference rival LSU over the weekend with the 3rd-highest team total in program history. Some bonkers scoring notwithstanding, this was an excellent performance and the closest thing we’ve seen so far this season to an April-quality meet.
